for homework due friday, my professor for intermediate fiction writing assigned us this seemingly impossible task: write a short story, in less than 200 characters (inc. punctuation and spaces) that has a charatcter(s), tension, and seems to really be a complete story.
these are some examples i threw out before i kept the one i'm handing in:
-once upon a time there was a girl in a college english class with a lot of stupid homework. she didn't do it. nothing happened to her. the end.
-once upon a time a boy wrote what he thought was an incredibly awesome poem, only to be told it was awful by his mom. he cried for the rest of his life.
-today, jack won the lottery. tomorrow will be the worst day of his life.
-the zombies invaded america today, wrote allie in her journal. i don't know if they got to the rest of the world yet, but i can't call long distance anymore. guess they got to ireland too.
-sprinkles was a fat cat who lived in a nice house with nice people. they fed her (too much) let her have toys and occasionally make fun of her when she steps in wet paint. she is kind of dumb. poor sprinkles.
hahahah. the one i really wrote was 24 words about the end of the world and its good but im not putting it here because i dont want anyone to steal it, pass it off as their own, and make millions of $$$ off of my incredibly amazing story =) jkkk

- i'm samantha, i'm 20 going on 21 and i am a junior English major, but im not here to use proper grammar. im athletic but i also love to write and figured a blog would be a good way to keep up with writing and also help get my thoughts out in a constructive way. i have a lot of opinions about society, especially how i think humanity is suffering because of the "gimme generation" (details on that later). i write mostly poetry but also dabble in prose and want to get into short fiction and all that jazz..hope someone finds this interesting!
